PREMIERE: Check Out WAAX's Brand New Clip For 'Labrador'

Brisbane's WAAX have had a massive 12 months and they are certainly showing no signs of slowing down with their latest single, Labrador.

Written about frontwoman Maz De Vita's experiences growing up in the Brisbane suburb, Labrador is the band's most vulnerable track yet.

"This song is the first time I’ve ever spoken so candidly about my past," explains De Vita. "The title is named after the suburb where I spent a lot of time when I was in my late teens and it’s where a significant relationship ended. Basically, the song underpins the way I felt around the time.

"I feel like this was the time I began to struggle with depression and when I was about 18, battled with body image issues. When my relationship ended, I didn’t really write music for a couple of years, I smashed my guitar. I felt kind of worthless. I clung to self-deprecation, I felt safe there. I had voices around me that said I wouldn’t amount to anything musically and I thought, 'You were right all along, you’re better than me. I’m never enough.'"

The Music is proud to be premiering the brand new clip for Labrador today, check it out below.

WAAX are on tour from today, as well as playing at this year's Splendour In The Grass festival. Head to theGuide for more info on where to catch them.

Note: WAAX are a part of the Handshake Management stable, headed up by Director of The Music Leigh Treweek.
